Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA)
Simulate a crime scene using fake blood, and predict where the blood-shedding event occurred, using blood-spatter analysis.
R
Learn about forensic science by performing balloon spatter experiments.
R
Determine which blood substitute would best match the spatter patterns and drop stain patterns of real blood, so that a blood substitute may be used in an active investigation.
R
Determine whether the materials used or the heights from which blood is dropped affect the diameter of the resulting spatter.
R
Determine whether the materials on which the blood is dropped or the heights from which it is dropped affects the diameter and shape of the resulting spatter.
